About us

Fellow homeowner,

A few years ago, the two of us owned homes in very different parts of the country (Brooklyn and Las Vegas) when we realized that our experiences as homeowners shared some universal truths:

• Homes are incredibly complex, and there is no “one size-fits-all” manual for how to take care of them

• Even if that manual did exist, most of us don’t have the time, energy, expertise, or confidence to do everything ourselves

• We spend 90% of our time fixing problems after they occur vs. doing what we can to prevent them in the first place

• Trust is a rare feeling when it comes to the many companies and services we deal with to take care of our homes

• We have more data available about the last time we ordered food delivery than the last time we tested our smoke detectors (!!!)

  
  

Fast forward three years, one move into a pre-Revolutionary War home in Millwood, and five additional kids between our two families, and the conviction that there must be a better way was so strong that we left our jobs to build Rafter. We’re proud to be starting this journey right here in Westchester.

Our mission is to make the homeownership experience better and save people time, money, and stress (so much stress!). If there's any way that we can be helpful to you on your homeownership journey, please reach out - we would love to chat!
